Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political
subjects. It is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly
for above all other journals of their class.
13Iackwood, still under the masterly guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celibrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing iu
its columns both in Great Britain and in the Uni
ted States. Such works as "The Cantons" and
"My Novel," (both by Bulwer), "My Penin

by the leading publishers in this country, has to
be reprinted be those publishers front the pages of
Blackwood, after it has been issued bp Messrs.
Scott & Co., so that Subscribers to the Reprint
of that Magazine may always rely on having the
earliest reading of these fascinating tales.
These Reprints have now been in successful
oppemtion in this country for twenty years, and
their circulation is constantly on the i ncrease not
withstanding the competition they encounti3red
from American periodicals of a similar class and
from numerous Edict:ties and Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals. This fact
shows clearly the high estimation in which they
are held by the intelligent reading public, and
affords a guarantee that they are established on a
firm basis, and will be continued without interrup

Friendship.
How oft the burdened heart would sink
In fathomless despair,
But for an angel on the brink,
In mercy standing there;
Au angel bright with heavenly light,
And born of loftiest skies, -
Who shows her face to mortal race, 4,
In 'Friendship's holy guise.
Upon the brink of dark despair,
With smiling face she stands;
And to the victim shrieking there
Out spreads her eager hands ;
In accents low, that sweetly flow
To his awakened car,
She lures him back—his death-ward track—
Towards Hope's effulgent sphere.
Sweet Friendship! let me daily give
Thanks to my God for thee !
Without thy smile 'twere death to live,
And joy to cease to be.
Oh, bitterest drop in woe's full cup—
To have no friend in need !
To struggle on with grief alone,
Were agony indeed.
An Immense Time iu the Sanctum
A day or two ago, while seated in the
editorial department of our establishment,
posting books, pondering over debts duo us
by delinquents, and showering left-handed
blessings on the credit system, our reveries
were suddenly broken in upon by the en
trance of a subscriber who has taken the
Standard for seven years, during which
time he paid on account 0 dollars, ditto
cents! "Holloa!" thought we, "here's a
promise to pay one of these days." A
mistake, as the following conversation
proves:
Subscriber—Mr. Printer, I believe I
have taken your paper about—let me see
—ah, yes, about seven years; and all that
time, too, I have lived off the Portage
Road; how you have lived, I do not know,
but precious little of my money have you
fingered. However, make me out a receipt
now, and here's your money.
[Subscriber deposits $l4 on the table,
which the editor grasps nervously, for
fear the subscriber's mind will change,
and then fillwout a receipt. Exit sub
scriber.]
As might naturally bo supposed, the
thermometer of the editor's feelings went
up into sunshine 14 per cent. Another rap
at the door—
" Come in!"
[Tall countryman enters.]
Countryman—Well, Mr. Newspaper
man, how d'yo do? 'Been taking your pa
per a dingnation while, and it is a long
time since I paid anything. Wouldn't be
without it no how—as your list of market
prices saves me fifty dollars a year. Re
ally too bad that I havn't attended to it
sooner. How much is it?
Editor—(running his eye over the news
paper,)—"Oh, here• it is—two and one's

the impression of the American "aigle,"
pockets the "raysait" he calls for, and
is off.]

in it wears a brilliant hue— even the rat

debtor. Oh, it cannot be possible that he
is going to pay. Yes he is! By the beard
of the Prophet he jerketh his calf-skin!
G.—Well, old fellow, you have dunned
me pretty often, but of course I couldn't
begin to blame you for it. I determined
to put it out of your power to dun me again
for a while, when Captain West made this
payment• Let me see, fourteen dollars I
believe you said it was, eh ?
Editor (rubbing his hands with gleo)—
Exactly, which pap up to the 12th of next
April,
G.—Here's fifteen dollars—just credit
the a dollar advance. (Exit subscriber.)
Editor (solus)—A weight transferred
from your conscience to your pocket.
[Editor proceeds to enter a credit, and
sings, "Oh thus may it ever—" when
the song is cut short by the entrance of
a German patron.]
German Subscriber—Yell, we gates,
Mr. Brinder, heh 2 Owe you for ter ba

minself, put mine chilterns say ter muslit
haf ter baper, and I gues if toy nmsht haf

man subscriber, who is something of a wag,
chuckles and gives the editor a dig in the
ribs.)
Editor—Squire, your bill is only five
dollars.
German Subscriber—Five dollar: tat ish
vor behint, and five I bays you ahead—
viol' makes den.
[German subscriber pulls out an old stock
ing, and counts down out of it twenty
bright half dollars. Editor's eyes di
late, he becomes exceedingly nervous,
and shows symptoms of flying off the
handle! Exit patron.]
The sky is clouded, but it never looked
better—the light never was stronger. The
horrors of a long winter are forgotten, and
sunshine reigns in the heart. Even the
accordeon in the bookstore underneath,
which a few moments ago made an execra
ble noise, is now making passable music.—
In the exuberance of his spirits he could

been so good that this must be a call on
the other side.

at hand, and the next sound will be a blast
from the final trumpet.
J—Well, my hearty, I havo just suc
ceeded in collecting some old accounts, and
as I owo you considerable of a bill, I
thought I could do no bettor than let you
have a trifle on account.
Editor (strongly impressed with the
same opinion)—Under such circumstances,
in the language of Dummy Allen,
'Happy to meet—happy to part—and always hap
py to meet again."
[J. deposits two X's on the table, sees the
entry made, and leaves.]
Editor has reached a state of perfect
bliss, and whistles Dolly Day, with varia
tions, when the sanctum door again opens,
and a prominent Whig enters.
Whig—Believe I owe you Locofoco prin
ters a small bill for advertising. Don't
like the principles you advocate, but I
would just as soon do business with one
party as another; besides, I know you have
much the largest circulation in this vicini
ty; and, in short, I know what's what.
Editor—Good. Your bill is $9.
[Whig pays, hands over a now advertise

Travelling agent—Excuse me, but this
l is no quack medicine, but one highly re
commended by the faculty. What aro

the dream, but the charm is broken, the
spell is gone, and all that remains is an
uneasy doze, which is interrupted by the
Junior of the family bestriding him for
a horse, and clutching his hair for the
bridle rein.]
(Scene changes to breakfast table.)
Wife—l should like to know what you
were dreaming about this morning.
Editor—Why?
Wife—Because when I awoke you, you
continued grumbling in unintelligible lan
guage. The only thing I could under
stand, was, "it's an infernal shame you
didn't wait until it was a hundred—enough

Chinamen Is. Africans.
One of the remarkable features of the
present day consists in the emigration of
Chinese to America in search of employ
ment. The 'Celestials' are not above work.
They have hoard of this goodly land, where
gold and food abound, and are quitting the
'Middle Kingdom, by thousands, to seek
their fortunes among 'outside barbarians.'
San Francisco is full of them. This fact
has been well known for a considerable
period. But we confess to some surprise
upon learning recently that they had wade
an irruption into Cuba, where they are fast
taking the place of negroes.
It will bo asked "how can Chinese labor
compete with that of African slaves?"—
Simply because it is CHEAPER. The Chi
naman works for very low wages, and asks
no one to take care of him. He feels
abundantly competent to board and clothe
himself. He will not be a slave, or treat
ed as one. His first lesson in Cuba is that
the negroes aro an inferior, despised race,
and that ho himself is not a negro. His
wants are small—his habits economical—
his current expenditure next to nothing.—
Besides, he is ingenious, active, industrious,
which the blacks aro not. It is thus he
can underbid slave labor, while at the same
time he enriches himself and his employer.
Do you say "all this is ourious,but what'
is it to us?" Wo answer: Much every
way. If the Chinese operative can root
out the African in Cuba, why not in Car
olina? China, which contains one-third
of the human race, can easily spare enough
of her people to do the rough work of all
the Southern States; and nothing is more
certain than that Slavery will perish just
so soon as it is found to be pecuniarily un
profitable, except perhaps the other fact
that it will not perish a moment sooner.
To the advent of these Asiastic compe
titors, or some event like it, will the Af
ricans owe their emancipation. Whether
China is indeed destined to solve the great
problem of the destiny of the black race
in this country, no one can yet tell. But
more unlikely things have happened in the
world's history.
Every American citizen must regard the
extinction of human bondage in this Re
public as a consummation certain to occur
at some period and by some agency; and
nothing which seems calculated to affect or
hasten an event of such momeutuous im
port eau be regarded otherwise than with
profound interest.—Rochester (..N. York)

Personal Appearance of our Sa-
I' tour.
Of the personal appearance of the Re
deemer of mankind, people generally have
but the most vague conceptions, such as
have their origin in the numerous painted
portraits passing as likenesses of that di
vine personage, who 'spake as man never
spake.' He is thus described by Lentulus,
a ruler in Judea, in a letter addressed by
him to the Senator of Rome, during the
reign of Tiberius (hour: "Conscript fath
ers.--There appeared in these our days, a
man of great virtue, named Jesus Christ,
who is yet living amongst us, and of the
Gentiles is accepted for a prophet of the
truth, but his own disciples call him the
son of God. He raisoth the dead and cu
roth all manner of diseases. A man of
stature somewhat tall and comely, and in
proportions of his body well shaped, and
his hands and arws delectable to behold,

the beholder may both love and hear. His

shoulders. In the midst of his head ie:6
scam or partition of hair after the manner

great length, but forked. His look inno

quick. In reproving he is awful; in ad
monishing, courteous and friendly; in speak

cannot be remembered that any have seen
him laugh, but many have seen him weep.
A being for his singular beauty surpassing
the children of men."
The Presidency Electoral Vote,
It hits been virtually settled in Congress
that both South Carolina and California
have a member of Congress on their sever
al fractions—the letter of the law giving
it to Carolina, and the spirit to California.
This increases the whole number of Mem
bers to 234, and of Presidential Electors
to 296, making 149 necessary to a choice
